Project description
Boosting research and innovation in geological fluids
Strategic and wise development for managing and protecting geological resources is intrinsically needed for sustainable future development of our environments, societies and economies. However, research and legislation still have mainly overlooked the interrelationship between different geological resources and geofluids. The EU-funded ENeRAG project aims to fill this gap, contributing to more efficient geofluid utilisation. ENeRAG plans to further develop the expertise of a public research university in Budapest through innovative approaches that combine diverse geofluid applications. The focus is on geothermal energy, groundwater and hydrothermal mineral resources. The project will lay out guidelines that should help strengthen hands-on experience and contribute to developing geofluid exploitation and legislation.
Objective
The ‘Excellency Network Building for Comprehensive Research and Assessment of Geofluids’-ENeRAG project significantly strengthen research and innovation capacities in geofluids’ research and aligned geological resource assessment of groundwater, geothermal energy and hydrothermal mineral resources at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE, Hungary) by capacity enhancement through cooperation with Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and University of Milan (UMIL, Italy), with 7 supporting stakeholders. The ENeRAG raises the research profile and excellence of ELTE in comprehensive understanding, tracing and modeling of geofluid systems focusing on their interrelationships through 4 staff exchanges, organisation of 5 sessions and attendance on 9 high-level international conferences; through joint open access publications (15 +1 special issue). It will ensure to fill networking gaps and deficiencies of ELTE, and enhance the S&T and innovation capacity in the field of sustainable development and eco-friendly exploitation of geofluids and their resources by 6 training workshops, 2 innovative video trainings, 1 summer and 1 winter school, expert visits, 3 laboratory and field trainings. Due to ENeRAG ELTE improves its innovative capability to gain national and international EU funding, and to furtherly widen cooperations through agreements with institutes and stakeholders. The ENeRAG contributes to improved knowledge transfer and to aligned interpretation and sustainable utilisation of geofluids in Hungary. The project and its resulted guideline strengthen the hands-on-hands experience in geofluid research, legislation and exploitation. The ENeRAG guideline provides a missing novelty service, gives base for prioritization of geofluid-related resources in Hungary and in the EU. Consequently, ENeRAG improves stakeholder experience, legislation and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge toward the scientific community and the society on national and EU level.
